The CP Input Sets are used to link particular category / entry numbers, and mnemonics, to switcher input names. CP Input
Sets are also used to assign an input to each source button on CP 3832 and CP 3864 Control Panels.

•

Categories are classes of inputs/outputs. The factory default category sets (as shown on pages 5−68 and 5−69) can
be used; or, custom category sets can be created.

†

Example: “TEST” as the category for all test signals. The cate-

gory is always followed by:

•

An entry number. This defines the unit within the category. To continue the above example, after pressing “TEST,”
the operator presses the “1” key to switch to the color bar input. Note that the entry number is not the same as the
switcher input/output number.

•

A mnemonic is an abbreviation, usually with a maximum length of eight characters, for a particular switcher input
or output. This is the abbreviation that appears in the status windows of the control panels. Example: “VT01” as a
display mnemonic for switcher input 001.
